November 2, 2022 | AtotechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MKS’ Atotech will be exhibiting at Semicon Europa and present its latest results on Cu-to-Cu direct bonding for 3D integration during Advanced Packaging Solutions Conference (APC) in Munich on November 16 from 11:50 a.m. – 12:10 p.m. (room 14c; presenter: Ralf Schmidt, R&D Manager Semiconductor).
The company’s Semiconductor Advanced Packaging and Lead Frame Package experts will be highlighting latest manufacturing solutions for ENEPIG for pad metallization and RDL housing, pillar, RDL and lead frame applications, as well as be available for detailed discussions around other production trends at booth 165 in hall C1.
ENEPIG for pad metallization and RDL housing:
- Xenolyte® Ni: Electroless Ni plating for all requirements
- Xenolyte® Au: Reliable immersion and autocatalytic Au solutions
- Xenolyte® Pd HS: Pure electroless Pd deposits for high reliabilities
Pillar applications:
- Spherolyte® Cu UF 5: Tailorable and pure high-speed copper pillar plating
- Spherolyte® Ni: All liquid component ECD Ni electrolyte for highly uniform plating
- Spherolyte® SnAg: High-speed SnAg for lead-free, pure and uniform solder bump plating
RDL applications:
- Spherolyte® Cu UF 3: Copper RDL process for purest line plating and micro via filling
- Promobond® AP2: Adhesion promoter for reliability improvement of next-generation Cu deposits
Leadframe applications:
- AgPrep: Ultimate non-etching adhesion promoter for silver surfaces
- ppfPrep: NEAP for excellent adhesion and significant cost savings

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
